Huberman has also espoused nicotine's benefits, so before someone reading this runs headfirst into a nicotine addiction, please be aware of the withdrawl symptons.
Fire and EMS demands have more impact on our built environment than I see in these comments.
Some of this is direct from land use regulations. Some of this is from political influence of Fire depts.
It's only recently that people are waking up to how the regulatory requirements of staircase design in multi-family buildings for the ostensible purpose of evacuation impact the look and feel of US cities.
Same for street widths. You will rarely find support from fire depts. for compact and connected streets.
Corporate Crime and Punishment: An Empirical Study
"Put simply, for large companies, criminal penalties may be just another cost of doing business—and quite a low cost at that."

The Boring Co. could have a new consumer market on its hands helping people excavate underground as they seek cooler temperatures.
I think this comment is not intending to be anything other than curious, but it strikes me with a bit of techno-savior assimilation sentiment. These autonomous tribes have plenty of opportunities to reach out to modern western culture when they are interested in doing so. Suggesting how they should "enter into the modern world over some generations" seems presumptious, even culturally aggressive.
"There is a fire in the theater" when there isn't one creates a chaotic stampede. People die.
The theater is the political culture war. Millions of human lives will die in the chase for politically charged click bait.
In no sane world should this not be punished severely.
This is an example where I'm skeptical that AI will be able to "appreciate" craft. Situationally aware enough to identify and articulate what makes these features notable. There's so much context baked into identifying these features.
it's not a conflict, it's a feature

"AI's capacity to optimize networking and capital allocation could exacerbate existing inequalities, potentially marginalizing human involvement in economic systems. As AI-driven efficiencies increase, there's a risk that traditional roles and benefits for humans could diminish, necessitating careful consideration of policies to ensure equitable outcomes in an increasingly automated world. Addressing these challenges will require proactive measures to safeguard human welfare while harnessing AI's potential for societal benefit." --AI
"A judge ordred us to turn over privledged documents"
Don't. Face the consequences. You chose to fight on this hill. Giving up your sources is immoral.
For now.

I don't think she's someone to be admired. Being ceo of an app that is IMO rife with bigotry, xenophobia, and scare mongering.
For those looking: "All participants were taught and instructed to follow a KD, (macronutrient proportion 10 % carbohydrate, 30 % protein, and 60 % fat; at least 5040 kJ). Participants were not instructed to count calories, but to reduce and monitor carbohydrate intake to about 20 g (excluding fiber) per day, eat 1 cup of vegetables per day, 2 cups of salad per day, and were encouraged to drink 8 glasses of water a day."
Musk the worlds most hyped "capital allocator", a phrased increasingly parroted by billionaires and aspiring VC-bros as their raison d'etre to excuse bad behavior.
Resilience: Stay strong when you're product launch isn't going well.
Resilience: Stay strong when you're a working single mother struggling to pay rent and feed your kids.
The techno-twitter teeth grinders would have you believe these are the same. They are not.
Hear me out. Try three transformers.
FedEx has large self-serve scanner/copiers where you just load up the pages and let it rip.
Number of jobs is only as interesting as the wages of those jobs (real wages not nominal wages.) I wish journalists would do better.
You can scan and OCR (adobe) this yourself with not much more effort than boxing and shipping at FedEx

"and walking is made more viable at the stroke of a pen simply by changing the zoning and building code to actually allow people to build walkable neighbourhoods with retail amenities,..."
This is an easy claim but unrealistic in North America. For the Boomers that have lived in single family housing for decades, those who also represent the larget voting block in most major cities, you're expecting them to forfeit their percieved "quality of life."
Have you seen large apartment projects in US cities, they are atrociously designed, with the vanity of walkability but rarely deliver the NYC or San Francisco level of walkability that they are selling.
Yimbys would do well to insist upon better replacement products.
i love this idea. worldbank or imf or gates or thiel foundation compensates the company for opening the patent for the benefit of humanity.
He literally had a fiduciary duty as a board member to his companies to maximize profits above all else, including human decency. The windowless dorms were intended to minimize the cost of construction of the housing his donated millions subsidized.
... and this tribalism led to the violent assembly of contiguous land and hoarding of resources to the alienation of everything/everyone outside the tribe. This pattern evolved into our modern system.
If local environments began to change, then your nomadic tribe moved along rather sitting around waiting to die. Birds fly south for the winter.
and always used some form of debt to manage the social fabric and facilitate the exchange of goods and services.
This is the capitalistic narrative since the agricultural revolution, thousands of years ago, but it's not true of most of human history.
During pre-agriculture we coexisted with many species, all living off the fat of the land, resources were plentiful for hundreds of thousands of years.
A delightful counterpoint and quick read is the book "Ishmael."

UBI can only work if it's annually adjusted for inflation.
Little known fact: VA mortgages are assumable for other veterans.
A US veteran that purchased in the low-interest rate environment has a significant advantage as a seller in today's market.
Which group of "drug users" must stay away from your neighborhood: recreational pot smokers, or those taking doctor prescribed opiods and adderall?
Dr. Brad Stanfield - one of the few medical professionals who've challenged Dr. David Sinclair about his promotion of NMN and Resveratrol - has a couple of well researched posts about N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) that are worth watching if you're into this stuff.
Let's take a second to recognize the ironic branding of Yellow corporation. It's orange. Nothing yellow about it.
Some person or group of people made that decision.
